in order to study the effects of different irrigation levels on yield, yield components and drought tolerance of four chickpea cultivars, a farm experiment was conducted in mashhad climatic condition during 2008-2009 growing season. four irrigation levels including: t1= 100% etc (full irrigation), t2= 90% etc (deficit irrigation), t3=80% etc (deficit irrigation) and t4=50% etc (deficit irrigati...

JAM-C is an adhesion molecule that is expressed on cells within the vascular compartment and epithelial cells and, to date, has been largely studied in the context of inflammatory events. Using immunolabeling procedures in conjunction with confocal and electron microscopy, we show here that JAM-C is also expressed in peripheral nerves and that this expression is localized to Schwann cells at ju...

The mammalian JAM family is composed of three cell surface receptors. Interactions between the proteins have well-characterised roles in inflammation and tight junction formation, but little is known about their function in early development. Recently, we identified a role for jamb and jamc in zebrafish myocyte fusion. Genome duplication in the teleost lineage raised the possibility that additi...

Objective—Although junctional adhesion molecule (JAM)-C has been implicated in the control of inflammatory leukocyte recruitment, its role in neointima formation after arterial injury has not been elucidated. Methods and Results—In apolipoprotein E–deficient (Apoe / ) mice fed an atherogenic diet, antibody blockade of JAM-C significantly reduced neointimal hyperplasia after wire injury of carot...

We report on the first procedural generation jam, PROCJAM, an event designed to bring together artists, researchers and game developers to experiment with new techniques and applications for generating content for videogames. Much of the event’s resulting work has applications beyond videogames, however, and we believe the event may be a strong platform for engaging creators and programmers in ...

The strawberry jam is rich in bioactive compounds. It is economically and commercially important and widely consumed. Different strawberries cultivars can be used for its preparation, however, a careful selection should be performed to guarantee the preservation of bioactive compounds during jam storage. Two strawberry cultivars (Camarosa and American 13) were analyzed by HPLC, three anthocyani...

Coconut stand out as the foremost amongst the palms that human kind has discovered for is multifarious uses to sustain and support life. In recent years emphasis is focused on product diversification, by products utilization and development of value added coconut products to improve the coconut economy. Coconut jam is a traditional high sugar coconut food product, commonly consumed as desert, b...

Here, we define an endothelial cell (EC) lumen signaling complex involving Cdc42, Par6b, Par3, junction adhesion molecule (Jam)–B and Jam-C, membrane type 1–matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP), and integrin 2 1, which coassociate to control human EC tubulogenesis in 3D collagen matrices. Blockade of both Jam-B and Jam-C using antibodies, siRNA, or dominant-negative mutants completely interferes ...

Junctional adhesion molecule-C (JAM-C) plays a key role in the promotion of the reverse transendothelial migration (rTEM) of neutrophils, which contributes to the dissemination of systemic inflammation and to secondary organ damage. During acute pancreatitis (AP), systemic inflammatory responses lead to distant organ damage and typically result in acute lung injury (ALI). Here, we investigated ...
